How do I Keep it Going? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To start I want to apologize in advance that there is no copywriter on call or time to make edits on many of my posts. I want quality content, but grammar isn’t the core of quality on social media, I promise that is true. Know that my mistakes will inform you that I myself am writing these not an ai generator. Is this the code for unedited: TL;DR?At any rate, I have been asked so many times how I manage to “do so much?” And the answer isn’t easy, but at the root I am a highly functioning anxious
Starting Over-ish (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s so funny that I haven’t raced here or, Facebook or, Instagram to hint at secrets while I embark on another book. I haven’t even left unintentionally ambiguous messages like, “Music is coming!” I wanted to when I dove into my work on book 2 in the Corey in Los Angeles series.

What would it have been like to bear witness to these
Presumed Safe... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Remember when we talked about horror and thriller sharing space? Divided by a very thin line in a lot of instances? Well, when I was interviewing our next guest, a few years back on my podcast, Make That Paper, I couldn’t shake the feeling of sheer terror I felt when we began talking about the work Jamie did as an editor on papers about California’s historic past with Native Americans. So much building near, on, or around burial sites. Which is also why theres the popular trope in horror films t
Straddling the Line with Horror! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I asked horror writer T.J. Tranchell to visit Killing Time he was totally game, even though we deal with noir, crime, and thriller over here. The truth of the matter is - horror and crime both happen in the shadows. We’re all afraid of the dark, empty public restrooms, and basements. Not to mention abandoned homes that exist in every city, neighborhood, and town. That fear is not limited to ghosts and monsters. I remember sitting around a homemade pizza with a bunch of other twenty-somethin
